[00:55.92]We took a boat over Lake Geneva.
[00:58.62]It was raining all night long,
[01:02.73]We were lucky and we saw no enemy,
[01:06.15]And came from Switzerland poor refugees,
[01:10.17]Far from the guns of war,
[01:12.27]We said goodbye to it all;
[01:20.49]They brought us in to a nurse's station,
[01:24.33]Half a mile behind the lines,
[01:25.65]Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking,
[01:31.77]To see the children, and the walking wounded,
[01:36.00]Hoping for a ticket home,
[01:39.96]And say goodbye to it all;
[01:46.50]I woke up on a cold blue morning,
[01:49.71]To see her there, standing right beside me,
[01:53.10]Long years since I left her at the borderline,
[01:57.69]And how she found me I'd never know,
[02:01.68]But we decided there and then,
[02:03.51]To say goodbye to it all;
[02:05.79]Say goodbye to it all,
[02:23.16]Say goodbye to it all....
[02:31.56]Took a train from Paris to the ocean,
[02:35.10]Found a small hotel by the coast,
[02:39.36]As we walked along the beaches of Normandy,
[02:42.60]We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold,
[02:46.71]And whispered a prayer for the boys,
[02:51.90]Who said goodbye to it all;
[02:52.71]Now we've got our own place by the water,
[03:01.29]And I have a job in the old hotel,
[03:04.89]She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter,
[03:08.28]Well I don't mind, we've made our choice.
[03:12.42]We've got all the time in the world,
[03:17.07]We said goodbye to it all,
[03:19.62]We said goodbye to it all.
[03:20.52]Say goodbye to it all,
[03:21.12]Say goodbye to it all,
[03:21.63]Say goodbye to it all,
[03:22.44]Say goodbye to it all.
